Can you tell me about the life of Stephen Hawking . After when he was paralyzed in short
Answers
When Stephen Hawkings at age of 21, While studying cosmology at the University of cambridge in 1963, he discovered that he had Lou Gehrig's disease, or
ALS(amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).
Within several weeks, Hawking became physically
unstable, sometimes falling over for no obvious
reason. ALS is motor-neuron disease.
In ALS, the motor neurons responsible for voluntary
muscle movement in a person's brain and spinal cord
begin to deteriorate, and eventually die. A person
affected with ALS slowly loses control over their own
body.
In Hawking's case, the early effects were difficulty
walking, talking, and swallowing. The ultimate result of
ALS is death, as eventually breathing becomes
impossible. The average survival between onset of the
disease and death is about three years. Doctors
informed the young Hawking that he had roughly two
years to live. But he survived for 49 years with a miracle.
In 1985, He was hospitalized with pneumonia Hawking
requires an emergency tracheotomy, causing
permanent damage to his larynx and vocal cords. A
keyboard operated electronic speech synthesizer is
refined and adapted to his wheelchair by David Mason,
an engineer married to Elaine Mason, one of
Hawking's nurses and future wife).
Hope it helps....✌
